Kelly Quinones Miller, who works as a public information officer for the City of Sanford, was one of the lucky season-ticket holders who scored two more tickets on Monday. It was a process she said took more than two hours online, and multiple computer crashes.

Miller, who bought DPAC season tickets last year just to secure her place in line for “Hamilton,” said it felt like “winning the lottery” when she got two more tickets to go with the two season tickets she already had.

“I’m taking my daughter, her best friend and her mother,” Miller said. “We are ‘Ham for Ham’ and they are, too, total nerds. I am 100-percent excited.”

Most Charlotte tickets for “Hamilton” range from $74.50 to $434.50. But a lucky few will wind up paying a small fraction of that to see the show.

Once “Hamilton” begins its run, those shut out from buying tickets at the beginning can register for a daily lottery of 40 seats per performance at just $10 each. That will be in place for every city on the tour, including Durham. So maybe lightning will strike.
